Wading through the JavaEE ocean!!

There may often be a requirement for a mobile app to continue running in the background after the user moves on to another app. A sample usecase may be to sync data from an online resource – especially when a connection becomes available again. This may be more convenient to do when the user is not actively using the app.

Forntunately, someone has already built a Cordova plug-in that allows you to keep the app running in the background. Go here for the plugin – GitHub/katzer.
